Barcelona is a city with many virtues. First of all you can enjoy its wonderful Mediterranean climate<\/strong>, with hot summers and mild temperatures during the rest of the year. The many kilometres of beach are another one of Barcelona\u2019s great attractions, and you will find all the services here that you could possibly need for a relaxed day at the beach.<\/p>\n

There are ample and varied gastronomic possibilities in Barcelona, with many different types of restaurants from different countries, but also excellent and traditional Catalan cuisine<\/strong><\/a>. Even haute cuisine has found its way to Barcelona, with prestigious and famous international restaurants. There really is something for everyone, from vegetarian to vegan, and from gluten-free to organic\u2026<\/p>\n

Monuments in the city of Barcelona are unique and characteristic to the city; the Sagrada Familia<\/strong><\/a>, Casa Mil\u00e0<\/strong><\/a>, Casa Batll\u00f3<\/strong><\/a>, Parque G\u00fcell<\/strong><\/a>… There is no doubt that architect Antonio Gaud\u00ed<\/strong><\/a> left the Catalan capital with his best works, and he has forever made Barcelona the city of Modernism.<\/p>\n

In addition to Gaud\u00ed’s legacy, there is also Ciutat Vella<\/strong><\/a>, which is the old centre of Barcelona. Ciutat Vella has many hidden treasures, that deserve to be discovered by visiting tourists.<\/p>\n

The cathedral, the Mercado de la Boquer\u00eda<\/strong><\/a> (market), Las Ramblas<\/strong>, Paseo Mar\u00edtimo<\/strong>, the basilica of Santa Mar\u00eda del Mar<\/strong>… And what about the shopping areas at Paseo de Gracia, Avenida Diagonal or Rambla Catalu\u00f1a, with their many different, and sometimes even very exclusive shops and boutiques.<\/p>\n

Hotel and accommodation offers are extensive and very diverse, with luxury hotels, youth hostels and excellent tourist apartments<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n

All these options that you can choose from in the Catalan capital can be quite overwhelming, so that is why we would like to suggest a few things.\u00a0 If you like spending some time at sea when you are in Barcelona, take a boat trip with Las Golondrinas<\/strong>, a boat tour company that has been operating in the city ever since 1888.<\/p>\n

Another idea is to take a Segway tour<\/strong><\/a> of the most emblematic areas of the Catalan capital. A Segway is a personal, two-wheeled transporter, allowing you to get around and see more of the city in a comfortable and fun way. Check out Dinamic Solutions<\/strong> to organize your perfect route.<\/p>\n

If you feel like doing a different kind of tour, you might enjoy the ones organized by Barcelona History Tour<\/strong>. They offer a theatrical tour, on which you discover medieval and mysterious parts of Barcelona.<\/p>\n

You can experience their best tours, from the free tour in the old town centre, the free Modernism and Gaud\u00ed tour, the free tapas tour and the private tours that allow you to choose your own route.<\/p>\n
